  1. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant signals. EBGM and IC are Bayesian-based metrics used to quantify the strength of associations between drugs and adverse events. EBGM represents the geometric mean of the posterior distribution of the reporting ratio, while IC measures the information gained from the association. Both metrics are accompanied by their 95% confidence intervals (EBGM05 and IC025), which indicate statistical significance. Abbreviations: ROR, reporting odds ratio; PRR, proportional reporting ratio; EBGM, empirical Bayesian geometric mean; EBGM05, the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of EBGM; BCPNN, bayesian confidence propagation neural network, the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the IC
